All American (1953)
6/10
Not bad but predictable
1 May 2020
The outsider who's good at football but too working class for the rich boys at a snobbish college with a bad football team. Feud between the outsider and the scion of the family who finances the college. Girls in the middle. Happy ending at the big football game. But the players are very good even if the script is predictable. I wish Tony Curtis looked a bit more working class (all they did was give him unkempt hair) but Richard Long always looked the scion part, like he was born in formal wear. The girls, Lori Nelson and Mamie Van Doren, very good for their parts but the characters were underdeveloped. Still an ok football film, though, and the feud story line was very watchable even if the love interests weren't that interesting.
